Samenvatting

Elizabeth Harrower: Critical Essays is the first collection of critical writing on Harrower’s fiction. Featuring essays by leading researchers in Australian literature, this volume offers new insights into a writer at the crossroads of modernism and postmodernism, and invites readers to read Harrower’s work in a new light.





Elizabeth Harrower: Critical Essays is the first sustained study of this acclaimed Australian author. It brings together two celebrated novelists and ten noted critics of Australian literature to consider the legacy and continuing importance of this major literary figure.

The essays examine all of Harrower’s published fiction, from her first short story to the long-delayed publication of In Certain Circles in 2014. Together they provide an wide ranging introduction to the extraordinary imaginative and intellectual project of her work. They explore her engagement with 20th-century history and post-war society, with modernism and modernity, and with the personal impacts of mass media, technology and industry. They demonstrate her grasp of the ethical and philosophical challenges confronting her readers and characters in late modernity as seen from a number of distinctive vantage points, including the harbourside mansions and commercial centres of post-war Sydney, the suburbs of industrial Newcastle and the bed-sitters of expatriate London in the 1960s.

Together the essays offer new insights into an Australian writer at the crossroads of modernism and postmodernism, inviting readers to read and re-engage with Harrower’s work in a new light.
